You must install the Network Discovery software onto a server meeting the following hardware requirements.
For a new installation, the IBM xSeries 335, Dell 1750 Server, or HP DL360/DL380 are recommended. However, the IBM xSeries 330 or Dell 1650 can also be used. More specific hardware information is available later in this chapter.
Warning: Do not mirror your hard drives, and do not install RAID in your Peregrine appliance. If you do, your appliance will not function properly.
Note: Failure to meet the hardware requirements described in the following tables will result in Network Discovery not installing.
Note: There is no need to order a keyboard, mouse, operating system, or monitor; you can use existing hardware you have on hand.
